 +====== Molecular dynamics using CP2K ======
 +In this second part of the exercise, the same kind of dynamics will be performed with **cp2k**. You will find in the repository (zip file) the input file **md.inp**, where the **&MOTION** section is different from the last lecture exercise.

 +Compare the performance with the one of the python code. What do you notice?
 +Plot the energy by using the file **MD-1.ener** and **gnuplot**
 +  -  What is the value of the total energy? Is it conserved?
 +  -  Increase the time step to 3 fs, and run it again. What happens to the total energy?
 +  - Note: to visualize a trajectory you can use the code (look inside it!) traj.py in the directory:
 +<code>python traj.py</code>
